“The powder method has gained a new importance in neutron diffraction owing to the general lack of large specimens for single-crystal methods”. With this brief opening sentence of his landmark paper ...

Powder pattern indexing and Rietveld structural refinement techniques are complementary and are often combined to determine the structure of a material. Indexing is considered a prelude to determining ...

ROURKELA: A six-day mega workshop on Crystallography and Rietveld Refinement Analysis kicked off at the National Institute of Technology-Rourkela (NIT-R) here on Monday. Three distinguished scientists ...

X-rays fired at a crystal interact with the geometric arrangement of its particles and are diffracted in many directions in a complex pattern of rays that depends on the crystal’s precise structure.
